The singer spoke about her career in an exclusive interview with Interview Magazine on June 20, 2024:

"I want to do everything at least twice. To know if I really like it. And why not? I feel like I get asked a lot, “Do you want to act or do you want to do music?” I was talking to my acting coach about it. I was like, “Why do you have to box yourself in?”

The singer continued:

"I want to create things that are memorable, that provoke thoughts and feelings in people, and I want to entertain. Britney said it best: “There’s only two types of people in the world, the ones that entertain and the ones that observe.” And I love entertaining."

The singer later talked about her career progression, stating:

The singer released her debut EP, AR, back on August 18, 2023, via the Sandlot label. The EP was relatively successful on the commercial charts, peaking within the top 50 positions on some charts as well as garnering millions of streams on Spotify.
